This invention consists in a compound of the following ingredients to form ali ni ap, viz.: Unslaked lime iorty pounds; sal-soda; forty pounds; E0ra x, four pounds; car e of am d; saltpeter, one pound; super- The above ingredients are combined with water to form a liquid soap. In making soap for domestic purposes sutficient water is used with the above to make forty gallons.

This soap is useful both as a detergent and a disinfectant.

I am aware that lime, soda, borax, and ammonia have each been used before in soap-compounds; but 0 What I claim as my invention is- A liquid soap, composed of quicklime and salsoda in about equal parts, with a moderate quantity of borax, carbonate of ammonia, saltpeter, and spirits of turpentine, together with snflicient water to retain the whole in solution, as specified.
